In case my previous reply wasn't clear enough, I require that you provide a more accurate description of what the implications of this feature are. Namely, that important _CORE_ networking features are completely bypassed and unusable when SMC applies to a connection. Specifically, all packet shaping, filtering, traffic inspection, and flow management facilitites in the kernel will not be able to see nor act upon the data flow of these TCP connections once established. It is always important, and in my opinion required, to list the negative aspects of your change and not just the "wow, amazing" positive aspects. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-s390" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
